Garbage ‘unlikely’ to revisit a number of cities on their upcoming tour

Garbage’s upcoming U.S. tour may mark the final time the rock group appears in “many of the cities.” The band posted on Instagram, confirming that they plan to be “going out in style.”

“Yesterday saw the commencement of rehearsals for our last North American headline tour,” the group wrote. “We haven’t played an extensive headline tour like this one in the States for almost a decade. If the truth be told, it is unlikely we will play many of the cities on this tour ever again.”

They added, “We are going out in style, and we hope you will join us. That’s life, my friends. Nothing stays the same forever. Everything must change. All beautiful things come to an end. We love you.”

The tour will begin on Sept. 3 in Orlando, with stops across the U.S. running through November. Garbage will take the stage at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Nov. 5 before heading to Mexico City for Corona Capital on Nov. 14. This lengthy run follows the cancellation of their 2024 dates last August, after frontwoman Shirley Manson had to undergo “surgery and rehabilitation” due to a hip fracture.

“To be able to headline our shows for the first time in nearly 10 years feels very special,” Manson told Rolling Stone earlier this year. “Because we are so much older, every time we get to go out and play together on a long tour, it feels like an enormous privilege, because you just never know when it’s going to come around again.”

Garbage’s most recent record, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, was released in May. Manson shared that the title came from the film All That We Imagine as Light, which premiered last year. “I have not even seen the movie, but that title lodged itself in my brain,” she told Rolling Stone. “When we were working on [‘Radical’], I’d already sung, ‘All you’ve got to do is save a life,’ and then I started singing ‘Let all that we imagine be the light’ in the second half of the chorus. It fitted in with the music perfectly. It just seemed like such a perfect encapsulation of where my mind was at the time.”
